You come up with pretty cool questions...to be dead honest, i used to be fascinated with the mythology and beleif in Angels, as well as the majesty that comes with thier imagined being.
Angels have many identities. Thier roots come from mythologies, such as Christianity and many other religions that preceded it...Here are a few:
1) Servants/warriors/messengers of God
2) Innocent people, particularly children
3) Benign Spirits who enter the physical world in an attempt to help those who cannot help themselves
4) Powerful creatures who work for either a single powerful God or for a Pantheon of Powerful Gods
5) Beings of a higher essence, who are able to access the broader Universe and are not limitted by mortal limitations.

What are they capable of?
1) Performing any and all feats on a physical level due to lack of risk of bodily harm
2) Flying through the vacuum of space, on the surface and heart of stars, at speeds at or faster than light
3) If an angel lacks a physical body, then teleportation between the physical realms seems like childs play
4) Wield Energy for either offense or defense.
5) If an Angel possesses a physical body, then they probably have superhuman strength

No one really knows, because they may not truly exist.
However, in many mythos Angels have been said to easily deliver death to mortals of any kind, touch the souls of human beings, etc.
They are only as powerful as thier God or Gods allow them to be...
Some mythos beleive that Angels are beings above mankind, independent of any god/gods, and are the highest form of creation capable of all things imaginable.

Yes..according to mainsteam religions, the SERAPHIM happens to be the highest order of angels and the most powerful.
According to Christianity, Micheal is the most powerful of the Archangels and is God's first and greatest warrior

Yes, they are fascinating, beautiful, majestic, and mysterious.
Just keep in mind that angels have been preceded by other creatures; mix of human and wings have existed before the mainstream religions deemed them "angels"...
Read "Spawn", and "Berzerk" for more inspiration. "Devil May Cry" is also a good inspiration, for all that demonic/angelic stuff.
It's hott shit bro lol
